A quick and easy no-bake dessert combining rich dark chocolate and luscious dulce de leche for a creamy, indulgent mousse perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 oz (170 g) dark chocolate (semi-sweet or bittersweet)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) dulce de leche
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) heavy cream, chilled
  • 2 tbsp (25 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)
  • Optional garnishes: chopped nuts, chocolate shavings, crushed cookies, whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Chop 6 oz (170 g) dark chocolate finely. Melt it in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (double boiler) or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy, about 5 minutes.
  2. In a chilled mixing bowl, whip 1 ½ cups (360 ml) heavy cream with 2 tbsp (25 g) powdered sugar and 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract until soft peaks form, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Gently fold 1 cup (240 ml) dulce de leche into the whipped cream using a spatula with slow, sweeping motions until smooth and creamy.
  4. Slowly pour the melted chocolate into the dulce de leche cream mixture and fold carefully until fully combined and uniform in color.
  5. Spoon the mousse evenly into 6 small cups or ramekins and smooth the tops with a spatula or spoon.
  6. Refrigerate the mousse cups for at least 2 hours or overnight to firm up and meld flavors.
  7. Before serving, sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt or garnish with chocolate shavings, chopped nuts, or whipped cream.

Notes

Warm dulce de leche gently if stiff before folding. Let mousse sit at room temperature for 10 minutes if too dense after chilling. Use gentle folding to keep mousse airy. Chill at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor. Can substitute coconut cream and dairy-free chocolate for a vegan version.
